A white-striped sheep weighed over fifty kilograms, and with the complimentary head, hooves, and offal, it didn't even cost a tael of silver. It was such a bargain. You have to know that in modern times, it would have cost a good three thousand!
The sheep were there, but deboning was a technical feat. Mao and Xiangye weren't the ones to rely on. Wen Xi had no choice but to go ahead. It was her own bad idea.
Fortunately, the dagger made by the blacksmith shop was very sharp. What excuse did I find to come here?
Oh, by the way, it was said that I was a sheep butcher at home. Now it has been confirmed, I have really become a sheep butcher.
There is no skill that cannot be learned, only the mentality of whether you want to learn or not.
Wen Xi had learned the art on her own, and her boning skills were becoming more and more proficient.
Fortunately, it was lamb skewers, otherwise the pile of minced meat at the beginning would be too presentable.
Wen Xi removed the bones, Mao cut the meat, and Xiang Ye, Gu Shengmo, and Fang Ya, who had been coming here recently, skewered the skewers together. They worked very well together.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
"Hey... again."
Gu Shengmo pouted and said with an unhappy look on his face.
The other people's expressions were not very good either.
Recently, thanks to Miao's mouth, almost everyone in the village knew that Mao had dug a spring well, but it was a spring well that brought good fortune. The poor had to eat pig intestines.
Although the villagers were curious about the well, they were too embarrassed to come and see it because they were only acquaintances with the Mao family. On the other hand, the other members of the Gu family had been visiting the well more frequently recently.
Fortunately, most of the activities are done in the backyard, so even though so many people have come recently, I haven’t seen any sausages or bacon.
Mao dragged her heavy steps to the front yard and prepared to open the door. She was already feeling very upset and she didn't want to open the door.
"squeak……"
The door opened, and today it was the Fourth Aunt Fang and Gu Shengjian. Well, today the entire Gu family was here.
Before Mao could say anything, Fang came in. Gu Shengjian, who was behind her, ran to the wellhead in a hurry.
The mother and son walked around the well for a long time, which made Mao's eyelids twitch.
Do you want to laugh at the joke so blatantly?
Gu Shengjian asked curiously:
"I think it's just an ordinary well! It's not as mysterious as they say."
Fang nodded in agreement. She then turned back to look at Mao. She didn't think her behavior was wrong.
"Are you really starving? You really don't know how to live. You have no money and you want to build two brick houses. If you are really in trouble, I can help you with some money. I recently found a job in an escort agency, escorting young ladies and women on their trips. I earn a little money. I don't mean to say that you should not live off your savings. You still need to do something to earn a living."
This was indeed unpleasant to hear. But Mao was deeply moved. Ever since arriving here.
The Gu family was basically gone. Not to mention the friendship they once had. They were worse off than strangers.
Only Fang, for the first time, actually had the thought of helping him.
Mao's tear point is a bit low, and after a while, her eyes turned red.
Fang thought she had said something too harsh and scratched her head impatiently:
"Look at you, I didn't say anything to you, and you're crying."
Mao sniffed quickly:
"No, no, don't think too much, sister. I know you said this for my own good. I'm just happy. I thought we would never see each other again!"
"Hey, what are you talking about? It's nothing. I was just being nice to you. I know you were born in a farming family and have a simple mind, so I'm willing to help you. As for people like them, I don't bother to care about them."
Gu Shengjian was impatient to listen to the adults' nagging and looked around:
"Hands... Uh, where are Gu Wenxi and Gu Shengmo? How come I've been here for so long and they haven't come to greet me?"
Wen Xi, who was peeking through the crack in the main room door, couldn't help but roll her eyes. She thought, "Who do you think you are? I'm here to greet you."
Seeing his mother walking towards the main room, Wen Xi ran back.
Mao opened the door to the main hall and said to the mother and son:
"They're helping out in the backyard!"
Gu Shengjian was impatient to wait, and ran to the backyard when he heard what he wanted to know.
Mao explained to Fang later that the family was planning to start a food business, and that their lives were not as bad as outsiders said.
Fang then looked at Mao with a teachable look on her face, which made Mao not want to continue to have a close relationship with her.
